By Mail (Absentee Voting)

Oregon has a vote-by-mail system. All registered voters receive a ballot by mail, 2 to 3 weeks before Election Day.

Completed ballots must be received by 7 PM on Election Day.

Students attending an out-of-state college or voters traveling during an election can still receive a ballot. 

Fill out the Absentee Ballot Request Form and return it to the county elections office, or update online using My Vote.

Voter ID Requirements

Oregon is an all-mail voting state. When registering to vote, voters must provide their driver’s license number or state ID card number. If voters can not provide this information, they can print and sign a online voter registration form and mail it to their county election office to complete their registration.

IN-LANGUAGE VOTER INFORMATION RESOURCES

Language Access

Section 203 of the Voting Rights Act requires certain jurisdictions to provide in-language voting materials in areas with a significant number of limited English proficient voters. 

Section 208

Section 208 of the Voting Rights Act states that, “Any voter who requires assistance to vote by reason of blindness, disability, or inability to read or write may be given assistance by a person of the voter’s choice, other than the voter’s employer or agent of the employer or office or agent of the voter’s union.” 

It is your right to bring your own interpreter to the polls, if you so choose.
